Pros

Wells Fargo is a good place to work because the benefits seem pretty good and there are a lot of opportunities for advancement. There are a lot of very good bosses with Wells too. I've been here 11 years and haven't had a bad one.

Cons

Working in the front room (i.e. the branches) can be difficult if you don't like sales and goals. Wells is very much a sales organization and you need to meet your numbers, whether you're a teller, banker or manager.

If you don't mind sales and cold calling, Wells Fargo is a great place to work.

Business Outlook

Pros

Good Hours and a decent salary. The call centers are open 24 hours and I heard that they can pay a little more than in stores due to the weird hours. The job does require a lot of responsibility and you must also be very meticulous, both as a teller and as a personal banker. Bonuses are given, but only if you meet your sales goals for the quarter.

Cons

Too much sales pressure. Sales meetings every week and the pressure never lets up; it seemed to be more important than helping customers. You will also get your fair share of angry customers.

Wells Fargo is a big bank culture, but truly respects diversity

Business Outlook

Pros

Competitive benefits, respect for diversity, and employee centric culture. In individual situations, the human resources department will give more power to the employee rather than the manager, which is rare.

Cons

Typical politics are at play here. Banks are very hard to work for if you are a maverick. Just remember you have to conform to the corporate norms in certain ways, and you'll be fine.
